—A tale of forbidden desire, power, and passion—

> “Run, little mouse.”
Alice’s chest rose and fell fast as she darted through the long hallway, her skirts twisting around her legs. She gripped the fabric, lifting it so she wouldn’t trip, but her hands were shaking too much to keep steady.
> “You can’t keep running from me.”
Prince Cedric’s voice was smooth, teasing—but there was something dark underneath.
She pushed herself faster, her breath uneven, but her body was already exhausted from the chase. Before she could reach the servants' quarters, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, yanking her back against something solid and warm.
A gasp tore from her lips as she was spun around, her back pressing against the rough palace wall.
Alice sucked in a sharp breath. The air between them felt thick, heavy. She pressed her palms against his chest, trying to create space, but he didn’t move.
Prince Cedric smirked, his hands caging her in, one resting beside her head while the other stayed firm on her waist. His golden hair was messy from the chase, his sharp blue eyes burning as he looked at her.
> “You shouldn’t run from me, Alice,” he murmured, his voice deep and slow. “You know I always catch you.”
Her heart pounded so hard she swore he could hear it.
> “This is wrong,” she whispered. “You're a prince. I'm just a maid.”
Cedric chuckled, leaning in just enough that she could feel his breath against her cheek.
> “That doesn't matter to me.”
> “It should,” she shot back, her voice trembling. “You're betrothed, my prince. If anyone sees us like this—if your father finds out—”
He pressed a finger against her lips, silencing her.
> “Shhh, little mouse,” he whispered. “Do you think I care about that dull arrangement?”
Alice’s stomach twisted, but she wasn’t sure if it was fear or something else. The way he was looking at her, the way his fingers pressed into her waist, the way his voice curled around her name—it made her legs weak.
> “This isn’t right,” she tried again, but her voice didn’t sound as strong as before.
Cedric tilted his head, eyes glinting with amusement.
> “Then why are you shaking?”
Alice stiffened. His hand trailed up her arm, slow and deliberate, before curling under her chin, tilting her face up.
> “You’ve been mine since the first day I saw you scrubbing these palace floors,” he murmured, his lips dangerously close to hers. “Too young for me then… but not anymore.”
Alice’s lips parted, her breath catching in her throat.
> “I—I can’t—”
> “Tell me no,” he challenged, his voice lower now, huskier. “Tell me you don’t want this.”
She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Cedric’s lips brushed against her ear, his words a soft whisper that sent a shiver down her spine.
> “That’s what I thought.”
Alice’s pulse pounded as his fingers traced the curve of her waist, slow, firm. She knew this was dangerous. She knew he was a prince, and she was just a maid.
But as he pressed closer, as his scent wrapped around her, she knew one thing for certain.
She wasn’t running anymore.
